How do I "dash" to the right place on my computer? #78

Hey gdelmas,

I just have a question regarding a scenario involving this plugin and two installations of separate (but equal) documentation viewers. For clarification, I am on a Windows machine and I have an installation of Zeal as well as Velocity. I have recently adopted the Jetbrains suite of software into my life and I want to only use Velocity straight from the Jetbrains IDE (Rider).

I am unsure of how to configure my environment to only point at Velocity. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I saw today that you can issue a --register flag when calling the .exe for any given application. Is that how I would "register" Velocity as being useable for documentation viewing instead of the default one (Zeal) that it has been using on my computer?

hey @evanricard,

sorry for the late reply. on windows and linux the plugin uses the application that registered the dash-plugin:// url scheme. i assume this is the last application installed. the applications might also provide options to re-register this scheme.

have a look at: https://github.com/gdelmas/IntelliJDashPlugin/issues/39#issuecomment-164648562
